Warhammer Survivors Guide

Stages and which faction you fight in each

Updated · Database

Quick answer

Seven stages are known. 40K: Imperial Bastion (Tyranids), Ork Stronghold (Orks), Gallowdark space hulk (Death Guard). Age of Sigmar: The Great Parch (Skaven), Hammerhal (Skaven on one side, Blades of Khorne on the other, crossed via the Stormrift Realmgate). Both universes: the Hobby Table, which mixes several enemy factions at once. A Bloodwind Spoil stage appeared in concept art. The store page promises "multiple modes and stages"; the Gloomspite Gitz stage hasn't been named.

Hobby Table

The Hobby Table: Blades of Khorne on a cutting mat beside a Warhammer paint pot and the Gloomspite Gitz battletome

Auroch’s “meta” stage: you fight among Warhammer paint pots, cutting mats and a copy of the Imperial Infantryman’s Handbook. Unlike every other stage it isn’t tied to one faction. Pick any champion from the relevant universe. The developer said in June that it still had “a little bit more work to do” before launch.

Gallowdark

The Gallowdark space hulk: Death Guard, a Beast of Nurgle, and orbital beams striking the corridors

The Space Hulk setting Auroch uses for the Death Guard. Expect ranged Blight-hauler missiles and poison fog in corridors — grenade and area weapons matter more here than on the open plains of Aqshy.

FAQ

How long is a stage?

Demo runs ran to about 25 minutes, when the Extremis Boss arrived (player reports). Auroch says "typical runs aim for about 30 minutes depending on the stage" in launch coverage.

Can I swap biomes mid-run?

On Hammerhal, yes — the Stormrift Realmgate moves you between the Aqshy and Ghyran halves and between Skaven and Khorne.

Which stage has every faction?

The Hobby Table. It exists in both universes and throws several of that universe's factions at you, sometimes at once.
